Police said Stoner, 71, was spotted in the woods a short time later, but he was fully clothed and denied having flashed anyone.

During the investigation, police learned that Stoner had been arrested in 2004 and later convicted of indecent exposure.

“We actually had a police officer that saw him in the nude at the park, and he was arrested, charged and convicted,” Parks Officer Fred Knagg said.

Police then re-interviewed the man, who identified Stoner from a photographic lineup, and said “that image is burned into my brain.”

When police told Stoner the charges, he first asked if he could change his clothes, then said “It’s news to me." The officer replied: "This isn't news to you, you've been arrested before for this same thing."

Police said they have had multiple sightings of an elderly man exposing himself in the park for the past three years, and believe it may have been Stoner.
